City lawyers have drafted a proposal to keep Sustainable Strategies DC LLL, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying firm, on the payroll to represent Stamford to Congress. The city would pay the firm $126,600 a year.

Andrew Seth, the president of Sustainable Strategies, wrote to the city’s purchasing agency in March 2014 to rebid for the lobbying work. The contract has to be renewed every year.

“We have enjoyed our role in helping Stamford secure state, federal, foundation and other resources for its community priorities since 1999,” Seth wrote. “During that time, we have worked together to obtain more than $250 million for the city’s revitalization needs.”

A panel of lawmakers will consider the issue July 21.

Lobbying disclosure records show that Stamford has also employed the Ferguson Group, Spiegel and McDiarmid, and Peyser Associates to lobby Congress.
